Thanks Jeni.  The template you provided to replace "
with "" worked great.  The flexibility that the
template can either use apply-templates or
call-template proved to be real useful.  Since I was
only applying it to the attributes, I followed your
instruction to call it by name like following:

<xsl:call-template name="escape-CSV">
<xsl:with-param name="string" select="@Description" />
</xsl:call-template>

and it worked prefectly.

Much appreciated,
Xiaocun
